but_o they_o take_v it_o most_o in_o exchange_n for_o their_o commodity_n or_o buy_v it_o up_o for_o profit_n and_o yet_o give_v five_o or_o sometime_o ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o more_o than_o the_o ordinary_a price_n to_o put_v it_o off_o still_o at_o great_a profit_n in_o those_o country_n to_o which_o they_o carry_v it_o he_o say_v we_o must_v pay_v our_o foreign_a debt_n not_o in_o our_o

always_o allow_v that_o raise_v our_o value_v do_v not_o help_v we_o among_o foreigner_n but_o only_o in_o our_o home_n trade_n and_o to_o keep_v man_n from_o carry_v our_o money_n away_o for_o the_o

they_o do_v so_o by_o we_o and_o therefore_o desire_v it_o but_o our_o own_o money_n in_o our_o own_o country_n have_v always_o be_v and_o i_o hope_v shall_v ever_o continue_v under_o the_o disposal_n of_o our_o government_n and_o the_o authority_n and_o stamp_n thereof_o notwithstanding_o his_o innovate_a and_o fluctuate_a invention_n for_o serve_v of_o a_o present_a turn_n next_o he_o put_v case_n of_o foreign_a trade_n who_o country_n will_v not_o submit_v to_o change_n in_o the_o value_v of_o our_o money_n i_o say_v if_o our_o money_n be_v the_o old_a heavy_a they_o covet_v it_o and_o will_v sell_v for_o few_o piece_n of_o it_o or_o will_v buy_v it_o to_o carry_v away_o the_o new_a light_a money_n they_o can_v reasonable_o desire_v to_o carry_v away_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v make_v

pass_v their_o practice_n have_v be_v quite_o contrary_a and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o if_o we_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o our_o money_n or_o diminish_v its_o weight_n foreigner_n will_v suit_v we_o with_o their_o price_n according_o and_o from_o such_o trade_n no_o man_n can_v expect_v benefit_n by_o the_o raise_n the_o value_n of_o our_o money_n nor_o ever_o pretend_v to_o do_v it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v well_o have_v spare_v his_o argnment_n thereupon_o and_o what_o he_o say_v after_z of_o cheat_v the_o king_n the_o debtor_n he_o shall_v have_v say_v creditor_n landlord_n and_o seaman_n to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o understanding_n have_v much_o boldness_n and_o very_o little_a truth_n in_o it_o but_o next_o he_o come_v to_o particular_a instance_n and_o there_o indeed_o he_o touch_v our_o sore_a at_o the_o quick_a and_o seem_v to_o reach_v the_o very_a bottom_n of_o it_o he_o say_v if_o the_o king_n shall_v receive_v six_o million_o in_o revenue_n i_o say_v if_o he_o shall_v receive_v so_o much_o it_o will_v make_v our_o case_n much_o the_o hard_a and_o i_o have_v rather_o have_v it_o put_v if_o the_o king_n shall_v receive_v five_o million_o in_o yearly_o revenue_n and_o i_o surmise_v the_o latter_a to_o be_v the_o more_o likely_a computation_n and_o before_o this_o can_v be_v right_o determine_v it_o seem_v necessary_a that_o as_o near_o

man_n consideration_n that_o the_o king_n be_v whole_a revenue_n must_v fall_v in_o reality_n to_o four_o part_n of_o five_o so_o as_o if_o before_o the_o change_n it_o be_v five_o million_o now_o it_o will_v be_v reduce_v to_o four_o whence_o the_o king_n shall_v become_v loser_n of_o a_o whole_a million_o of_o money_n every_o year_n this_o the_o court_n and_o the_o man_n of_o state_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o obviate_v and_o prevent_v by_o all_o the_o mean_n which_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v the_o king_n to_o be_v trick_v of_o so_o great_a a_o revenue_n by_o the_o unlucky_a blast_n of_o such_o a_o side_n wind_n by_o a_o trick_n which_o whether_o we_o shall_v call_v it_o country_n and_o ignorant_a or_o subtle_a and_o dangerous_a do_v not_o yet_o clear_o
